Yeah, I spent a few minutes poking around the springs in Northern Nevada I’m familiar with, and completely agree with your assessment. This is slop.

It's true that jazz charts are unlikely to use tenor clef. Nonetheless, it remains career limiting for a trombonist to be unable to read clefs.

Commercial players are likely to use the skill for transposing Bb treble lead sheets, or playing in a pit. Tenor clef shows up in modern musicals regularly.

Not to mention being shunned from quartet or choir opportunities that are the basis of networking in the industry.

As a semi-professional trombonist, C clefs are very important to me. Alto and tenor as-written, tenor as a means of transposing Bb treble, mezzo-soprano as a means of transposing F parts… they are not obsolete.

4-8 of them. 2 Sparks can operate without a switch.

They only use them at the honest seams, though.

“Liz Taylor’s ex-husband” is extremely vague…

I was single, living alone (+ 2 cats, if they count) in a one bedroom apartment in North Beach 15 years ago on a $90k/year salary. I even had a parking space and a car!

I can understand how people did it then - I was one of them - but I don't understand how they would do it now.

The DAD AX32/AX64 is such a thing.

Multiple day outages in Winter are not unusual in our part of Maine. Nearly everyone has a whole home generator for good reason.

Just a bit under 15 years after we did this at Twitter.

I feel attacked.

We never actually had a literal “Bieber Box”, but the joke took off.

Hot shards were definitely an issue, though.
